I thought it was great. They had a lot going on that weekend. I would have been better if we had access to walk around the planes for better photos. The Ju 88 was position pretty good and I could get around it. The Me was not. So not too bad but they are getting crowded. They have a B-17 they are working on and will unveil it as the Memphis Belle. Their bookstore was awesome. So many books and manuals. I purchased two books on the Ju52 and learned some new things. 17 acres of space filled with planes. The control tower was great visit. The volunteer there was a B-17 copilot and was a wealth of information. We also talked to a P-47 pilot who shot down 3 Ju52s and had a great story behind it after I told him of my interest in that plane. As a matter of fact, the p-47 in the museum was painted after his personal aircraft.
It was a great visit. Hope the photos are good enough. For some reason, they were coming out fuzzy and I think is was due to the lighting since the outdoor photos and the ones from the presidential hanger turned out fine. Don't know
I posted the rest of the JU88 photos on my website. It had Rumanian markings which was an odd choice
